I moved to a new laptop with different Xorg and xterm install. (My window manager stayed the same.) Periodically my xterms would start (I thought) randomly scrolling or -- even worse -- pasting from my buffer.
I didn't see anything in xterm manual about this. After a day of use, I noticed that two fingers on the track pad caused the scrolling. (As you can see, I have no experience with this multitouch.) I turned it off with: synclient VertTwoFingerScroll=0 But then later noticed pasting was still happening. I could reproduce finally by tapping with two fingers. So I turned it off: synclient TapButton2=0 And sometimes my mouse will jump across the screen and then focus a new window. I don't like focus follows mouse, so I will turn off the accidental tap that brought focus: synclient TapButton1=0 I also did: synclient TapButton3=0 But still sometimes my xterm content will scroll still when I bump or drag hand on the pad. I can't reproduce it. Sometimes content gets pasted in. Can anyone share some hints on some other things to look at? I did read some through the synaptics(4) manual. This lubuntu system has X.Org X Server 1.10.4 Release Date: 2011-08-19. xserver-xorg-input-synaptics 1.4.1-1ubuntu2 xserver-xorg 1:7.6+7ubuntu7.1 xserver-xorg-core 2:1.10.4-1ubuntu4.2 xserver-xorg-input-all 1:7.6+7ubuntu7.1 xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1:2.6.0-1ubuntu13 xserver-xorg-input-mouse 1:1.7.1-1 xterm 271-1ubuntu2 (and a lot more) I first thought this was a xterm feature so I tried to change some scrolling settings, but then saw it was in firefox too. (Over time, I may learn to accept and enjoy these new features, but until then I'd like to understand what causes them.)
